World of Warcraft Gold Guide

Everyone who plays WoW wants to get more
gold. It’s a necessity if you want to purchase the items
you need like armor or weapons and it definitely comes in
handy for winged mounts and skills later on in the game.
The only problem is that gold certainly doesn’t grow on
trees, so you’re going to have to work for it one way or
another.

In this World of Warcraft Gold Guide, we'll cover the
various options for making gold include grinding, professions,
flipping, or purchasing gold from gold sellers. In fact, for
the sake of this guide, we’re going to focus on the first
three. All players can easily learn these skills and once
you’re in the know, it’s easy to make a ton of gold in a very
short period of time. You just need to know how and where to
make it. Let’s get started.

Grinding for Gold

Grinding for gold is probably the easiest way to get a lot
of gold in a short amount of time. It is incredibly tedious,
but there are locations and techniques that can earn up to 50
gold pieces an hour, so it is well worth the time. Most players
like to spend a little time grinding while they’re questing. As
an extra bonus, you’ll also be increasing your experience
points, so it really can pay off in the long run.

There are a few places that you are going to want to focus
on if you are serious about grinding. Most of your
opportunities for high amounts of gold earned per hour are
going to be in the higher levels. However, you can turn a
profit by grinding mobs just about anywhere and flipping the
items that they drop. We’ll get into that later in this
guide.

Once you get past level 50, the opportunities really open up
for quality grinding. Winterspring is a region that is chock
full of mobs that will earn you 50 gold pieces an hour, so make
sure you spend a lot of time here. The best places to start are
is the WinterfallVillage.

You’ll find plenty of furbolgs in this location. They are
relatively easy to kill and have a high drop rate. You’ll also
be able to earn your Timbermaw as an extra little bonus.

The Yeti’s in the Everlook Forest also offer some great
opportunities for grinding in this region. They do minimal
amounts of damage and are easy enough to overcome on your own.
You’ll also want to look for the Frostsabers since they are
incredibly easy targets. As you get more experience and get
past Level 80, you’ll be in the Eastern Plaguelands where it is
also very easy to find mobs for grinding.

The Mossflayer Zombie is an insanely easy target here and
you will easily earn well past 50 gold pieces an hour with the
right techniques and patience.

Professions that Earn Gold

This method of getting more gold is going to take a little
bit longer, but it can be a lot more interesting than simple
grinding. While all professions can make money, your best bets
for profits are going to be skinning, leatherworking and
blacksmithing. Secondary professions such as fishing can also
earn gold, but you’ll need to have the primary skill of cooking
if you really want to make any money at it.

Alchemy can also be a very good profession, but you will
need to spend a lot of time gathering the necessary items or
purchasing them. To start out, we really recommend skinning or
blacksmithing. These mesh well with flipping, which we’ll talk
about next.

In order to effectively earn gold with your profession,
you’re going to need to spend a lot of time increasing your
skills. This can take you away from questing, so try to balance
everything out. It is well worth your time to get to a skill
level of over 300, but it’s going to require a lot of patience.
Once you do reach this, the items you make will be worth more
money.
